DELTA UCI-45 Portable UCI Hardness Tester
DELTA UCI-45 Portable UCI Hardness Tester
The DELTA UCI-45 is a high-performance, portable UCI hardness tester designed for fast and reliable hardness testing of structural and carbon steels. Built for versatility and precision, it supports multiple hardness scales including Brinell (HB), Rockwell (HRC), Vickers (HV), Shore D, and custom user-defined scales, making it ideal for industrial, laboratory, and field applications.
Fast and Reliable Measurements
The innovative fast probe delivers results in less than a second, outperforming traditional testers that require prolonged stabilization.
Human Error Reduction
Minimizes operator influence to ensure consistent, reliable readings even under challenging conditions.
Key Features
-
Advanced UCI testing (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance, per ASTM A1038)
-
Compatible with multiple hardness scales: HRC, HB, HV, Shore D, Rm, and user-defined
-
Optimized for thin-walled and lightweight parts
-
Backlit monochrome display for low-light environments
-
Built-in statistical analysis and averaging functions
-
Compact, IP54-rated design for dust and moisture protection
-
Full measurement capability in any orientation
-
USB data output for seamless PC connectivity
-
Long-lasting operation with 2 AA batteries, auto shut-off, and battery monitoring
Reliable and Easy-to-Use
Engineered for express hardness testing on parts of any size or geometry, the DELTA UCI-45 uses the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (UCI) method. It is perfectly suited for field inspections, gear testing, tooth flanks, roots, and other hard-to-reach surfaces. The lightweight device features manual operation and consists of a main unit and a UCI probe with a built-in cable.
Versatile Calibration & Materials Compatibility
The UCI-45 is pre-calibrated for low-alloy and unalloyed steels using standard scales (HRC, HB, HV) and provides tensile strength (Rm) measurements derived from the Brinell scale. It can also be quickly calibrated on-site for other materials, including high-alloy steels, aluminum, and titanium, as long as the Young’s modulus of the material is known.
